Matcha Oat Milk Ice Cream

Directions

1. 1Sift the matcha into a bowl and whisk in 2 tablespoons of warm oat milk to form a smooth paste with no lumps.
2. 2Whisk in the remaining oat milk, coconut cream, maple syrup, and vanilla until fully combined.
3. 3Pour the base into a Creami pint below the max fill line and freeze flat for 24 hours.
4. 4Process on the ICE_CREAM preset. If the result is crumbly, add a splash of oat milk and Re-spin.
5. 5Stir in dairy-free white chocolate chips via the Mix-In program if desired.

Tips

• Freeze your pint completely flat for a full 24 hours before spinning, especially if your kitchen runs warm, so the Creami can shave it smoothly instead of creating a crumbly texture.
• If your result comes out icy or powdery after spinning, add just a tablespoon of oat milk or coconut cream, then re-spin on the Ice Cream program for a creamier scoop.
• Use ceremonial grade matcha, not culinary, since the finer powder dissolves better into the oat milk base before freezing.

Variations

• Swap half the coconut cream for Greek yogurt for a tangier, protein-boosted version that still freezes and spins well.
• Add 1 tablespoon of white miso paste to the base before freezing for an earthy, umami depth that complements the matcha without making it taste fishy.

FAQ

Can I use regular milk instead of oat milk?

Yes, dairy milk, almond milk, or cashew milk all work fine. Oat milk just adds a bit of natural creaminess, but any plant or dairy milk will freeze and spin properly in the Creami.

My pint didn't freeze solid. What should I do?

Make sure you're freezing it for a full 24 hours on a flat shelf, not in a door where temperature fluctuates. If your freezer runs above 0 degrees Fahrenheit, you may need 30+ hours. Once it's rock solid, the Creami program will work perfectly.

Can I make this lighter or lower fat?

Use 1/4 cup coconut cream instead of 1/2 cup and increase the oat milk by the same amount, then freeze flat and spin normally. The result will be lighter but still creamy enough for the Creami to process well.

How long does it last in the freezer after spinning?

Once you've spun it, eat it right away for the best texture. If you need to store it, transfer to an airtight container and it'll keep 3 to 4 days, though it may refreeze solid and need a quick re-spin before serving.
